A very important warning for mobile users !

21 06 2008

Hi my friends,

Here’s something that every mobile user should know:
When you try to call someone through the mobile phone, don’t put your mobile
close to your ears until the recipient answers… Because directly after dialing, the mobile phone would use it’s maximum signaling power, which is 2 watts (33 dbi)

( You should use messaging more often )

Use your left ear while using the cell, because if you use the right one it will affect the brain directly…

These are true facts from the Apollo medical team.

After Nokia unveil its tube since now, we’re still in Nokia’s “no major new products” quarter and we’ll have to get used with releases like these 5320 and 5220 candybars. The terminals are ok, however it won’t win back that 1% lost market share.

The other one, the 5220 doesn’t feature the HSDPA but it start a new strive on the market..we will have more info about this new phone later on…

The price for 5320 and 5220 will be €220 / $351 and €160 / $255, respectively. Both expected to hit Europe in autumn 2008.

My review:

Nokia N96 is just a great mobile. I find its features great and this mobiles is even better than N95 and N85i.
I also say this is far better than Nokia N73 and many other phones. It has a unique design, as you can see in pictures, has outrageous features
and a extraordinary camera.

If you want my opinion go ahead and buy it! Don’t think tiwce!

Thank You for your time,
